Continue cutting 1/2 inch above underside, unrolling roast like carpet. Arrange prosciutto evenly over pork, overlapping if necessary. Arrange lemon slices over prosciutto.
  2. Sprinkle with panko, then chives.
  3. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Turn pork so 1 short end faces you. Beginning at 1 short end, roll up pork; arrange seam side down on work surface (fat side will be facing up). Using kitchen string, tie at 1- to 1 1/2-inch intervals.
  4. Transfer pork, fat side up, to roasting pan.
  5. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  6. Cook broccolini in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

  8. Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450&Deg;F.
  9. Place pork on lower rack; roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°f; roast pork until instant-read thermometer registers 145°F when inserted into center of pork, 45 to 60 minutes longer, depending on thickness of roast.
  10. Transfer to cutting board. Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
  11. Divide broccolini between 2 rimmed baking sheets.
  12. Drizzle olive oil over, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

  14. Meanwhile, place roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat.
  15. Add broth and wine; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Stir in butter.
